Junior River Rangers: Rising 1st and 2nd graders
 
Weeks: June 22-26, July 13-17
M-F 9 am -1 pm

Our youngest campers enjoy a half day camp from 9am-1pm. Rising 1st and 2nd graders spend their mornings exploring along the banks of the Rappahannock. Learn about the plants and animals that make the river their home. Play games, meet new friends, hike, make sand castles, and much more! If you like to get dirty and spend time outdoors, this camp is for you! While we do get to enjoy the river along the banks and get wet while wading in the shallows of the river, Junior Rangers do not surf the rapids or paddle.
